ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The present report is the first self-assessment report written for the Department of Computer
Science at Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal, Dir Upper. The report represents the first step
towards achieving Quality Assurance in higher education offered by the department. This report is a
comprehensive campaign carried out by the department of Computer Sciences, under the guidelines of
HEC Self-Assessment Manual.
In preparing the present report, we rely mainly on the templates of self-assessment manual issued
by the Quality Enhancement Cell, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Sheringal. The report includes in
its first part a definitive introduction to the Program Mission, Objectives and Outcomes of the degree
offered. The second part consists of the Curriculum Organization. After that, the report reviews the
required criteria for the self-assessment and the related standards according to the specifications of SAR.
We hope that we have been successful in writing of this report, and that we achieve the minimum
requirements of SAR. Continuous improvement is a focus of our department and is done every day as a
natural part of our profession. We strive always to improve processes that are weak and fix processes that
are broken.
I am thankful to all faculty members who provided valuable information included in this report. I
hope that this report will be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the program, which after all,
is the main objective of this exercise. We further hope that all points of strengths would be further
enhanced and corrective actions will be taken to improve the weaknesses.
In preparing of this report, I must acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Ibrar Hussain, Assistant
Director QEC and the support provided by the Quality Enhancement Cell, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto
University of Sheringal.

INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of the QEC is to use the yard sticks of Self-Assessment (SA) to improve the
quality in different quarters of the academia. The basic theme in any SA activity is not only to accept
the demerits and other weaknesses identified by the stakeholders but to improve the overall
performance of the department.
The self-assessment is the part of Quality Enhancement. There are three parts of the Quality
Enhancement Assessment. First the teachers themselves prepare the weekly plan and semester plan
bifurcating the mid-term, semester breaks and final term examination including the assignments, quizzes,
tests and class presentations. Secondly, the teaching quality assessment of faculty is carried out in two
parts; one of them is completed by the student which is a continuous and repeated activity carried out in
each semester before the final examination. The second part is carried out from the quality of papers and
coverage of course. Third is the provision of facilities like research, library, net-work, laboratories, and
computer facilities (institutional facilities and institutional support).
Under the umbrella of QEC, the Self-Assessment Program is being implemented in the
departments of Environmental Sciences, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Sheringal. This is a great
step in improving students’ learning and evaluating in compliance with academic and learning standards
of HEC. The office of QEC has conducted seminars and meetings with Chairmen/ Program Team
members and faculty members, to clear the vision of QEC in the context of Self-Assessment.

STUDENTS SUPPORT & ADVISING
The students are provided full support to complete the program in timely manner. The faculty members
are available during office hours and students are encouraged to consult them in case they have any
problem. Students are fully supported and advised in academic and extra-curricular activities by the
faculty members of the department.
Standard 4.1: Courses must be offered with sufficient frequency and number for students to
complete the program in a timely manner.
The course is offered regularly as per schedule. The degree consists of eight semester’s two terms per year.
The department offers core courses in first six semesters of BS Program; while elective courses are offered
in the last two semesters. Minimum 15 students in a batch are required to offer the course. This condition
was relaxed in just 3 years of the university. Maximum 30 students are taken in a class.
Standard 4-2: Courses in the major areas of study must be structured to ensure effective interaction
between student, faculty and teacher assistants.
Every course offered in the program carry assignments, class presentations and practical work. Students
have close interaction with their teachers for the guidance related to prepare their assignments and
presentations. Each instructor adopts his way to interact with his students either in the class or during the
office hours. However no proper procedure is adopted for student teacher interaction. Improvement needs
in this area to fulfill the requirements.
Standard 4-3 Guidance on how to complete the program must be available to all students and
access to academic advising must be available to make course decisions and careers choices.
An orientation class is conducted in the start of every semester. In the orientation class, concerned faculty
members provide a document containing program mission, objectives, outcomes, curriculum design &
organization, assessment-methodology and attendance criteria.
Similarly, the contents of the document having program mission, objectives, outcomes are available to all
students of the concerned course in shape of module description. The same document is also shared with
the concerned Chairman/ HoD, Office of the QEC and Director Academics. Professional counseling is
usually carried out by Student Career Counseling Committee constituted for the purpose. The students can
also consult with the chairman of the department or with the office of the registrar. A faculty member is
assigned responsibility to discuss and coordinate with students in taking the right decision about their
career.

The performance of the faculty members is monitored regularly and continuously by the Chairman/HoD
of the department, and it is evaluated annually through ACRs. (Annual Confidential Report)
There was no systematic process before to evaluate the faculty members, now after establishment of QEC
each faculty member is evaluated by the students via “Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire”. at the end of
each semester.
Standard 5-4: The process and procedures used to ensure that teaching and delivery of course
material to the students emphasize active learning and that course learning outcome is met. The
process must be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting the objectives.
Process to ensure teaching and delivery of course material:
Time table is strictly followed by all faculty members. The Chairperson of the department
frequently gets feedback from the students during the semester.
Students are show their test and papers in the show off session after every test and quiz, this
process in made sure by the HoDs. Students can see their papers marked by the teacher and view
it.
All the relevant materials (Tests, Assignments and Quizzes) of evaluation are submitted to the
office of the HoD. It purpose to ensure that the grading is transparent
Award list of all sessional and final term papers is submitted to the controller of examination and
copies are left in the department.
In order to ensure that the teaching is effective a quarterly survey is conducted by the university QEC and
the findings are communicated to the concerned faculty members. After completion of Survey
Assessment Team meeting is called to assess the process and make implementation plan for the said
department.
Standard 5-5: The process that ensures that graduates have completed the requirements of the
program must be based on standards, effective and clearly documented procedures. This process
must be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting its objectives.
Currently there is no proper procedure to assure that whether the graduates meet the program
requirements or not. This area needs concentration to develop this procedure. Plan required for this area.
As no graduates are yet produced. So no proper procedures to assure that the graduates meet the
program requirements or not. This area needs concentration to develop this procedure. Further planning
is required for this area.
